Great Gray Meets New Friends

In this heartwarming sequel to the original Great Gray tale (a book about exceeding "NO expectations"), village heroes Great Gray and his keeper Santosh come together again to help others in need. After returning to the village of Anupur, the Maharajah congratulated Great Gray and Santosh for their great achievement in saving many lives. The Maharajah also looked very sad and embarrassed. The great man then admitted he had previously had thoughts of shame--for his own son--because of the child's inability to walk. The lessons of Great Gray and Santosh made him realize how wrong this was. Now it was time for Prince Aadi to meet his family who lived on the other side of the jungle. Who will they meet along the way? Let's follow them, together!
